G&AMP;J DISTILLERS

Established in 1761, G&J Distillers has more than 250 years’ experience in Gin production. It all started with a man named Thomas Dakin, who started producing his own Gin at the age of just 25. His family was close friends with the Greenall family, to whom the distillery was leased in 1860.

Brothers Gilbert and John Greenall, who also owned a nearby brewery, eventually bought the distillery outright, renaming Dakin’s Warrington Gin as Greenall’s Gin, but keeping Dakin’s original recipe.

Sadly, a large fire in 2005 destroyed much of the distillery, taking with it a number of the original recipes, so it is not known what stills or botanical infusion method Dakin used in his Gins. However, the stills were saved and production stopped for less than a week.

In 2008, the distillery moved to a nearby site. Today, G&J Distillers produces a number of branded Spirits, as well as supermarket own label solutions.
